How to determine the predicted reduction of the trust-region subproblem is a key issue for trust-region methods. Powell gave an estimation of the lower bound of the trust-region subproblem by considering the negative gradient direction. In this article, we give an alternate way to estimate the same lower bound of the trust-region subproblem.展开更多

The truncated Lanczos approach proposed by N. I. M. Gould, S. Lucidi, M. Roma, and P. L. Toint [SIAM J. Optim., 1999, 9: 504-525] is a natural extension of the classical Lanczos method for the symmetric linear system and eigenvalue problem and, indeed follows the classical Rayleigh-Ritz procedure for eigenvalue computations. It consists of 1) projecting the original TRS to the Krylov subspa^es to yield smaller size TRS's and then 2) solving the resulted TRS's to get the approximates of the original TRS. This paper presents a posterior error bounds for both the global optimal value and the optimal solution between the original TRS and their projected counterparts. Our error bounds mainly rely on the factors from the Lanczos process as well as the data of the original TRS and, could be helpful in designing certain stopping criteria for the truncated Lanczos approach.展开更多

The approach is different with the traditional algorithms that usually require to solve two quadratic subproblems. Moreover, to avoid Maratos effect, the nonmonotone strategy is employed. The analysis shows that, under standard conditions, the algorithm has global and superlinear convergence. Preliminary numerical experiments are conducted to show the effiency of the new method.展开更多

In the "nonintersecting" case of this problem, Burer and Yang(2015) have proved that its semi-definite programming relaxation with second-order-cone reformulation(SDPR-SOCR) is a tight relaxation. In the more complicated "intersecting" case, which is discussed in this paper, so far there is no result except for a counterexample for the SDPR-SOCR. We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the SDPR-SOCR to be a tight relaxation in both the "nonintersecting" and "intersecting" cases. As an application of this condition, it is verified easily that the "nonintersecting" SDPR-SOCR is a tight relaxation indeed. Furthermore, as another application of the condition, we prove that there exist at least three regions among the four regions in the trust-region ball divided by the two intersecting linear cuts, on which the SDPR-SOCR must be a tight relaxation. Finally, the results of numerical experiments show that the SDPR-SOCR can work efficiently in decreasing or even eliminating the duality gap of the nonconvex extended trust-region subproblem with two intersecting linear inequalities indeed.展开更多

The convergence analysis is given and numerical results arealso reported.展开更多
